TO THE purcha*ji:rs of 
WATSON'S NEW MAP OF THE UNITED STATES. 



It has been our object in preparing this little manual, to furnish 
all fli^ithout additional cost to you, though at heavy expense to ourselves, 
those general statistics which are likely to be -wanted by a map purchaser. 
We think that we have succeeded in giving you the most valuable collection 
ever made in any moderate compass, and shall be greatly disappointed, if 
this does not largely increase the demand for our beautiful map. If the 
purchasers are satisfied with our effort to give them their money's worth, 
we shall bi* thoroughly content.

12 ^^^ GENERAL QOTEBNMENT 



THE LEGISLATIYE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT. 

The National Legislature consists of a Senate of two members from 
each State, making the full Senate now consist of seventy-four members, 
and a House of Representatives, now having two hundred and forty-five 
members. The Senators are chosen by the Legislatures of their several 
States, for a term of sLx years, either by concurrent vote or by jomt ballot, 
as the State may prescribe. The members of the House of Representa- 
tives are usually elected by a plurality vote in districts of each State, 
Whose bounds are prescribed by the Legislature, for the term of two years. 
In a few instances they have been elected at large : i. e., by the plurality 
vote of the entire State. 

The Constitution requires nine years' citizenship to qualify for admis- 
sion to the Senate, and seven years to the House of Representatives. 
An act approved July 26, 1866, requires the Legislature of each State 
which shall be chosen next preceding the expu-ation of any Senatorial 
term, on the second Tuesday after its first meeting, to elect a successor, 
each House nominating viva voce, and then convening in Joint Assembly 
to compare nominations. In case of agreement, such person shall be 
declared duly elected; and if they do not agree, then balloting to continue 
from day to day at 12 M. during the session imtil choice bas been made. 
Vacancies are to be filled in like manner. The members of ea< h 
House receive a salary of $7,500 per annum, and their actual trav- 
eling expenses ; the Speaker of the House of Eepresentatives re- 
ceives $10,000 ; Cabinet Officers receive $10,000 ; Assistant Secreta- 
ries of the State, Treasury, and Interior Departments, $6,000 each ; 
Commissioners of the Customs, Agriculture, and of the Land Office, 
$4,000 each. 

congressional districts. 

The House of Representatives of the United States is composed of 
members elected by Districts. The number apportioned to the States has 
varied at each decennial census, as shown by the following Table :

IMMIGRATION

IMMIGRATION. 



IMMIGRATION FROM 1820 to 1872. 

By an Act of Congress, approved March 2, 1819, Collectors of 
Customs were required to keep a record, and make a quarterly return to 
the Treasury of all passengers arriving m then- respective districts from 
Foreign Ports ; and these reports, duly condensed in the Department, are 
the chief bases of our knowledge of the subsequent growth and progress 
of Immigration. Total number of foreign-born passengers arriving at 
the ports of the United States in the several years from 1820 to 1872 
iuclusive, are as follows :

NJSW FINANCE BILL. §9 



SYNOPSIS OF THE FINANCE BILL 

Passed June 20, 1874. 

Section 1 declares that the currency act of 1864, now and for the past ten 
years in force, shall he hereafter known as the National Bank Act. 

Section 2 so amends section 31 of that act that banks are no longer required 
to keep on hand " any amount of money whatever " on account of circulation ; 
but the reserve required by that section — namely, 25 per cent, in redemption 
cities, and 15 per cent, in other places — shall be determined by deposits. 

Section 3 requires each national bank to keep in the treasury a legal- 
tender reserve of 5 per cent, of its circulation, this sum to be " counted as a 
part of the lawful reserve," as provided in the x'revious section ; and the U. S. 
treasurer shall redeem in legal-tenders on presentation, bauk notes, sorted or 
unassorted, when presented in sums of $1,000, or its multiple. He shall charge 
notes redeemed to the respective banks, and on the first of each month or 
oftener, shall notify them, and whenever notes aggregating $500 have been 
redeemed for any bank such bank shall deposit with him the like amount of 
legal-tenders. Banks are to reimburse the cost of sorting and redemption, and 
so much of section 32 of the old act as requires oi' permits redemption except 
at the counter of each bank is repealed. This does away with redemption 
agencies altogether. 

Section 4 allows any bauk to withdraw any or all of its notes, by depos- 
iting legal-tenders iu sums of not less than $9,000 with the treasurer ; the notes 
BO taken up shall be destroyed, and the bonds held for them shall be returned. 

Section 5 provides that the comptroller of the currency shall stamp the 
charter number of each bank on all notes hereafter issued by him. 

Section G provides that " the amount of United States notes outstanding, 
and to be issued as a part of the circulating medium, shall not exceed the sum 
of $382,000,000, which said sum shall appear in each monthly statement of the 
public debt, and no part thereof be held or used as a reserve." 

Section 7 repeals so much of the act of July 12, 1870, as provides that no 
circulation shall be withdrawn until the remaining $54,000,000 have been 
taken up. The comptroller is instead required to withdraw circulation from 
banks iu States having an excess, as application is made by new banks, up to 
$54,000,000. 

Section 8 prescribes the manner of this withdrawal. 

Section 9 requires the comptroller to issue without delay upon application 
to banks in States and Territories not already having received their share, nev.' 
circulation up to $55,000,000 ; of this not more that $30,000,000 shall be with- 
drawn and re-distributed during the coming fiscal year, that is, up to June 30, 
1875.

10 per cent, of the total cost of Railroa'ds, is $47,277 per mii'j. But few 
©f the great Eastern Trunk Roads have cost less than 680,000 tu 
$100,000 per mile, while in ilie South the cost of Railroad building, no- 
tably in the Atlantic States, has not exceeded $20,000 to $25,000 per 
mile.

EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS. 

The Public School statistics of the United States require a volume 
of themselves for their complete elucidation. We can only give ag 
gregates of the most important items. 

The number of children of school-age in 48 States and Territo^ 
rieSj in 1872, was 12,528,384. * The number enrolled in 46 of these 48 
States, etc., was 8,106,073. The average attendance in 45 out of 48 
States, etc., was 4,871,848. The number of schools in 47 States, etc., 
was 173,056. These 48 States and Territories reported, in 1870, 14,025 
private schools, aside from professional, technical, and scientific 
schools, with 25,077 teachers, 726,668 pupils, and an annual income 
of. $13,696,146. In these States, etc., there were 226,067 teachers em- 
ployed in the public schools; of these, 87,127 were male teachers, 
137,212 female teachers, and of 1,628 the sex v>'as not given. Idaho 
paid the highest average salaries to both her m.ale and female teach- 
ers, giving each an average of $162.50 per month in gold. North 
Carohna paid the smallest average to her male teachers — $25.00 per 
month. Maine paid the lowest wages to her female teachers — $14.40 
per month. 

In 44 States, etc. — all that reported — the average wages of male 
teachers was $55.40 per month, and of female teachers $43.18 per 
month. ^ 

The total annual income of the public schools in the 48 States, 
etc., was $73,756,987.75. Of this immense sum, about $57,000,000 
was raised by taxation, $3,600,000 was interest on permanent funds. 
and the remainder from the sale of lands, rate-bills, and other sources. 

The expenditures are divided into two classes, the one of current, 
the other of incidental expenditures. Under the first class come 
teachers' wages, fuel, etc. Under the second, the cost of sites, build- 
ings, repau's, libraries, apparatus, and other objects. The amount 
paid for teachers' wages in these States, etc., in 1872, Avas about $45,- 
500,000. For fuel, lights, rent, repairs, stationery, and sch5ol-books, 
$6,500,000 was expended in the States which reported these items. 
In 30 States and Territories $19,600,000 was paid for buildings and 
sites. In 16 States, $560,000 was expended for libraries and apjiara- 
tus. The entu-e expenditure in 37 States and Territories, in 1872, 
was $70,991,381.73. Thirty-two States only report their school fimd 
and its condition. The aggregate schot)l funds of these States 
amoimts to $64,746,971.93. Several of the States iiot reporting have 
large funds, and it is probably within boimds to estimate the present 
value of the school funds of all the States at not less than $80,000,000.

Of special schools and means of instruction, beside the Military 
A-cademy at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis, there 
are very many. Most of our larger cities have one or more, man}' of 
them two or three Scliools of Art, Academies of Design, and Schools 
of Instruction in AVood Engraving, Free Drawing, Water-color Paint- 
ing, Architectural Drawing, and Sketching and ]Modehng from nature

HDUCATIONAL

Peabody Institute at Baltimore, and the Stevens Institiite at Hobo- 
ken, are magnificent foundations, and furnish opportunity for the 
highest free education in a,rt matters. There are also numerous 
schools of higher instruction in music, with eminent teachers and a 
large attendance. Special schools for instruction in navigation, sur- 
veying, mining, metallurgy, chemistry, and civil engineering are also 
becoming numerous. 

]\Iost of the Mercantile Library Associations have classes for the 
instruction of their members in modern languages, mechanics, higher 
mathematics, etc., and many of the Young Men's Christian Associa- 
tions have also established such classes. There are 308 of the Young 
Men's Christian Associations, with an aggregate of about 53,000 mem- 
bers, and more than three-fourths of them have libraries, some of 
them of considerable size. 

There are 308 Pubhc Libraries in the United States, containing

EXPENSES PER HEAD OF THE STATES FOR SCHOOL PURt'OSES. 

The United States Commissioner gives some very interesting 
figures in regard to the annual expenditure in each State, for each 
child of school age. In the list Nevada stands first, California third, 
and Connecticut fourth. But in Nevada and California, a large pro- 
portion of the expense is caused by the erection of new school-houses, 
so that the tal)le gives these States a better standing than they are 
entitled to. Excluding these two, and Massachusetts stands first and 
Connecticut second. 

The following is.the table showing the expenditm-e per head of 
the school population in most of the States and Territories.

Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a 
question of adjournment,) shall be presented to the President of the United 
States; and before the same shall take effect, shall be approved by him,
